In woods and hedges, especially on a chalky or limestone soil. 



Shrub. May. 



A small tree, with copious, opposite, round, pliant, mealy branches. 

 Leaves deciduous, heart-shaped, rounded, finely serrated ; cloth- 

 ed beneath, more sparingly on the upper side, with starry mealy 

 pubescence, like that on the branches, footstalks, and flower- 

 stalks. Stipulas none. Bracteas several, small, acute. Cymes 

 broad and flat, of numerous, crowded, whiie flowers, with yel- 

 lowish anthers. Stigmas short and thick. Berries compressed ; 

 in an early state red on the outer side, yellow on the inner ; 

 finally black, with a little mealy astringent pulp. Seed large, 

 flat and furrowed. 



The leaves turn of a dark red in autumn. This shrub is scarcely 

 worth cultivating for ornament, nor is it of any particular use, 

 except that the bark serves to make bird-lime 3 but that of 

 Holly, v. 1. p. 227. is much better. 



2. V. Opulus. Common Guelder-rose. Water Elder. 

 Leaves lobed. Footstalks beset with glands.

Shrub, or Small Tree. June. 



Taller than the preceding, and quite smooth in every part. Leaves 

 larger, as broad as the hand, paler beneath^ three-lobed, un- 

 equally serrated, veiny, deciduous ; bright green in summer, 

 but in autumn assuming a beautiful pink or crimson hue, like 

 other Europaean species of genera that are principally American, 

 as Cornus. Footstalks channelled, bordered with several round 

 green glands towards the top, and several oblong leafy appen-
